Luca Cumani has a good record in this over the years and AJMANY fits the bill. The latter may have been raised 6lb for finishing second to Niceofyoutotellme at Newmarket but that was in mcuh better company than this and he can go one better. This also looks easier than Sennockian Star's recent tasks and last month's Epsom winner should be in the mix along with Ennistown, fourth in similar company on the Turf at Lingfield on his comeback. Stepping Ahead has been raised a further 5lb despite not winning and neither Spa's Dancer or Ginger Jack have won over this far before.
